Don't include the "all 7z-dist" targets here. Building the octave
source distribution from the hg archive must be done as a separate
step.
Try
make JOBS=8 hg-octave-dist hg-octave-branch=stable
If that is successful, then you can do
make all 7z-dist JOBS=8
to build Octave for Windows with all the packages. Use whatever number
of jobs makes sense for your hardware.

Unfortunately, the installation of "pcre2-utils" was not sufficient, the
error message is as follows:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[...]
configure: error: to build Octave, you must have the PCRE library and
header files installed
make: *** [/home/spofahl/hg/mxe-octave/hg-octave-dist.mk:34

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
But I will try to sort this out as well.
